    First run on the new firebox...w/issues

    "How important is preheating wood" It probably depends on the cooker really. On my reverse flow trailer, it's real important. I have also found that loose bark on a split can cause dirty smoke. I'm not one to remove bark, but now I will pull it off if there's an large air gap between the bark...

    First run on the new firebox...w/issues

    Not familiar with your setup. I'm curious about the intake vent at bottom left of cooking chamber. Not sure about adding cold air in one side of the cooking chamber and hot air in the other. As already said,,, air flow through the system could be an issue. Should be able to control fire with...

    Who here has a Char-Griller AKORN Auto Kamado?

    I had very similar experiences with my Akorn,,, very efficient but little smoke flavor. In my opinion, it came down to not enough air flow to produce good smoke ( I had to keep vents near closed to keep low and slow temps ). I used a smoke tube and a tip-top-temp on mine. I ultimately moved on...

    Drum smokers, are they a thing now?

    I've been using a UDS at home (and an occasional comp ) for about 11 years and the bottom has developed multiple rust holes. I keep saying I'm gonna throw it out and build a new one,,,, but for the last couple of years I've simply covered the holes with foil and smoked on. One of my favorite...

    Adding a dome thermometer to a Traeger

    Hmmm,,, sometimes it takes a brick upside the head to wake the brain up. As soon as I started reading the replies, I remembered I had bought this unused IGrill2 for five bucks at a flea market back in the winter. For reference of how long it's been sitting around on somebody's shelf,,, those...

    Adding a dome thermometer to a Traeger

    First post,,, sorry for the ramble. So I recently bought my first pellet cooker from a coworker,,, a Traeger Tailgater. I'm certainly not new to smoking meat. In fact, I compete a few times a year and you could hardly throw a rock in my yard and not hit a cooker of some sort. But,,, this is my...
